A 53% reduction in energy use
Our previous Building & Sustainability Manager, Emily Watson (they/them), said:
"One of the accomplishments I’m most proud of is the comprehensive energy audits I’ve conducted for The Dance Space, including staying at The Dance Space overnight to analyse what improvements could be made. By making changes like upgrading installation, we made a 53% reduction in energy use in a single year!"
Thanks to funding from Backstage Trust, we are upgrading our stage lights to energy-efficient models, and Emily also found ways to reduce the amount of lighting in areas of the building.
